Intro:
Bb majorBb G minorGm Bb majorBb G minorGm


Verse 1:
Bb majorBb      G minorGm     Bb majorBb            G minorGm
On my way the other day a strange thing happened to me
 Bb majorBb         G minorGm          D#D#          FF
I blinked my eye and what did I spy but a girl sitting up in a tree


Pre-Chorus:
    D#D#         FF
I said come on down cause now you're found
    D#D#           FF
there's no one around and it's nice on the ground

Chorus:
      BB             C#C#
She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
    BB          C#C#
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
F#F#
 Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
           C#C#
branches clinging to me-ee-ee.


Post-Chorus:
FF                 Bb majorBb  G minorGm Bb majorBb G minorGm
 I said come on down out of that tree


Verse 2:
Bb majorBb        G minorGm       Bb majorBb        G minorGm
Leaves made lace around her face  peeking down at me
 Bb majorBb         G minorGm         D#D#          FF
I wondered why she'd climb so high right up in the top of that tree


Pre-Chorus:
    D#D#         FF
I said come on down cause now you're found
      D#D#           FF
And there's no one around and it's nice on the ground


Chorus:
      BB             C#C#
She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
    BB          C#C#
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
F#F#
 Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
           C#C#
branches clinging to me-ee-ee.

Post-Chorus:
FF                 Bb majorBb  F#F# BB G# minorG#m BB G# minorG#m
 I said come on down out of that tree


Verse 3:
BB        G# minorG#m         BB           G# minorG#m
Darkness fell I fell as well when I heard her sweet call to me
BB           G# minorG#m      E MajorE              F#F#
Right then I knew what I had to do I started climbing up in that tree


Pre-Chorus:
  E MajorE          F#F#
And now I found I don't want to get down
     E MajorE           F#F#
I dont't miss the ground while she's around


Chorus:
   C majorC           D MajorD
We're way up here where the air is clear
    C majorC          D MajorD
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
G+G
 Crickets calling breeze hushing stars blinking
                  D MajorD
moon wakin nightingale singing and we-ee-ee


Post-Chorus:
F#F#                      BB  G# minorG#m BB G# minorG#m
 have a heaven up in this treehouse in this tree


Outro:
